About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This book is a fascinating read for anyone who has had any involvement in the events and activities of the Regional Science Association … . written from the perspective of the figure who is widely acknowledged to be the father of that field. … This book helps participants to understand better the origins and early inspiration for his evangelical role and how he came to give early momentum to the multidisciplinary movement … ." (Peter J B Brown, Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, Vol. 31, 2004)
